NASA eClips presents lots of great videos that STEM teachers in any grade level will find useful. Through several examples of applied science and math, kids will get a sense of the cool stuff they can do by studying the sciences.
Want to see how NASA made Michael Phelps’ swim suit so fast? Wonder what astronauts do to stay in shape in space? How about checking out if anybody’s at home on Mars? NASA eClips explores these and lots of other areas, churning out new videos each week during the school year.
The videos are sorted according to age group (K-5, 6-8, and 9-12) and subject (aeronautics, communications and launch, earth, exploration, living in space, STEM basic, sun, and universe), meaning you can find something for just about everyone here, including non-students at NASA 360. If you’re wondering how to put all that content to work in your classroom, you can always hop over to NASA for Educators for some ideas, too.
